[h1][u][color=aba000]Leval Lamrue[/color][/u][/h1] [@DragonKingUk] Leval was having a pleasant doze now, face warm from the sun, his staff in this perfect position to be functional and comfortable. A shadow moved overhead blocking out the sunshine, Leval grumbled slightly, opening one eye to look up at whatever was casting the shade. It looked as though some type of blue bird was flying up there getting in the way of his light. He eyed it curiously as it started to descend, it almost seemed as though the bird were getting bigger and bigger and... Leval jumped up, brain now working in overdrive to catch up to the situation at hand. As the bird grew clearer, he could see that it was no bird at all, it had the general shape but its body was made up of giant crystalline shapes that could have almost been made of ice. When the bird finally landed, the earth shook with its massive weight. Leval, unbalanced by movement below him, grabbed a hold of his staff, still buried in the earth, to steady himself. The giant crystal bird whatever, then began to speak! [color=aba000][i]'Is this some sort of test?[/i][/color] he thought to himself staring at the talking bird in some wild eyed disbelief. While it spoke, he rose his free hand spreading out threads of magic, probing for some sort of illusion. Finding none, he was forced to accept the reality of the situation was that a giant crystal bird was going to be his fellow student. Leval cleared his throat, briefly wondering how it would fit in a desk before replying. [color=aba000] Hello there, nice to meet you Winter, my name is-"[/color] He never got the chance to finish that particular sentence as the sound of massive leathery wings beating against the sky entered his ears. Leval froze up, turning around slowly, one hand still clutched on the hook of his staff. Two heads. Two heads with two fang filled jaws. Two heads with two fang filled jaws with one body. Two heads with two fang filled jaws with one body with arms and legs ending in razor sharp claws. [color=aba000][i]'IS THIS THE TEST?? A dragon. A DRAGON. Ancient behemoth monsters that were the undisputed kings of lore and legend, inspiring a near infinite number of stories with their power and greed. And there is one flying right towards... me.'[/i][/color] Leval looked up at the sky and raised his arms, slightly bent at the sky as if asking the universe what he had done that demanded this level of reckoning. The great beast landed against the ground fluidly, again causing the earth to shake below it. Leval, now somewhat used the minor earthquakes caused by massive mythological creatures, bent his knees slightly and kept his balance. The Dragon named itself a fellow student, much to Leval's bafflement and asked their names. [color=aba000][i]'Exactly what is it that these giant, ancient creatures are expecting to learn from this school? Mathematics?!'[/i][/color] Still he had his family's honor to uphold, combined with his desire not to be a crystal skewered roast kebab, he thought that politeness may be the way to continue this conversation. He bowed low to each creature in turn. [color=aba000]"Hello to each of you. My name of Leval of the family Lamrue. Forgive my surprise, I did not expect to see any of my classmates yet and was napping."[/color] [color=aba000][i]'Or so large.'[/i][/color] he thought to himself. He was grateful that his cloak hid the slight trembling in his knees. [color=aba000]"It is my pleasure to meet the both of you. Drumdawn, this is Winter."[/color]
